Walters is living the Chesapeake dream.On the Western Shore, he fished evenings and hunted weekends during his 30-year career with NASA.On retirement to the Eastern Shore, he made his play his work.

There's a quest in each of the many short stories in this book, giving a lovely purposefulness to his meander through the places of Chesapeake Country (and farther afield) with the human and animal companions of a lifetime.They're so rich with detail that you learn the craft and customs effortlessly.And they're all so brought to point that, were Walters not a journalist (you can keep up to date with his stories in the Easton Star-Democrat) that you'd swear he was a lying fisherman.
